Check adjectives that begin with the alphabet 'd', and you would get to know what daughters always are, and never are not. Daughters, for example, ARE determined, dedicated, devoted, dainty, delicate, dimpled, dapper. Daughters are NOT dull, deceitful, dogmatic, deadly, on the contrary.
No wonder, daughters need to be celebrated, and not only on the Daughters' Day. A daughter is a blessing indeed. A son forgets his roots when he forges ahead in life. A daughter never. Yes, generalizations as always are askew. Sure, there are sons who continue to be caring and considerate. As they say, however, the percentage matters, right? Exceptions prove the rule!
True, even in the twenty-first century, there are families that rue the birth of a daughter. Yet, things, they are a-changing, at a faster pace, and for the good. Daughters now have the support of parents for charting out their lives. The best proof of this statement, I would say, is the fact that most all women athletes and players are from Haryana, reportedly one of the most patriarchal states.
Sure, even today, women continue to face terrible threats such as eve-teasing, sexual harrasment, unwanted attention, issues that get much worse due to technological explosion. Yet, mostly, the family has her back which gives her the strength to confront cads. Yet again the best example of this shift in perspective would be Nirbhaya's mother who openly fought for justice for her daughter for almost a decade, and more.
Sure, societal changes are always slow-paced. Yet they are taking place in all the fields. A daughter needs these re-visions because a daughter is always all that is the best: brilliant, talented, creative, an achiever, kind, gentle, considerate, caring. In brief, a treasure! Happy Daughters' Day!
Pratima@A daughter is like the dawn, warm, gentle, ever with a promise ahead, always beginning anew, lasting the whole day long, and sure to be there even when the dusk darkens in to the night.
